Strolling in [Thurgau]’s streets, Nisha was happily marveling at everything, from the smallest flower growing in between two disjointed pavements to the largest building blocking the sun, she was freely discovering a brand new world.
She had kept her promise not to leave the Dharnas Estate before having understood all of the old butler’s ...
2016-06-15 21:45:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe first thing Nisha noticed upon waking up was that she was in a comfortable bed.
Buried up to her neck in soft sheets, she felt warm, and delightedly curled up under her blanket to sleep for a bit longer.
Then, she realized that there was an unfamiliar being in the room.
Albeit unwilling to leave the bed and shake off her last ...

2016-06-10 16:37:39 +0000 UTC View PostChatting to pass the time in a luxurious salon was a strange experience for Nisha.
Everything felt so unreal: from the city and its huge herds of people, to what had happened at the temple … only now did she truly realize that she was in [Thurgau], the place that had seen her grandpa go through so much life experiences that he had wished fo...
2016-06-09 13:17:19 +0000 UTC View PostLooking through the open window of the carriage, Nisha was admiring the wonders outside. Without the overwhelming input from all sides, the elvish girl was able to focus on specific things. She discovered more and more of the city while the party was waiting to arrive at their final destination.Annabelle and Lydia - sitting across on the bench oppo...
2016-06-04 23:09:18 +0000 UTC View PostBack inside the room were Nisha had received the robe, the high priest was currently staring at her with wonder in his eyes.
Annabelle and Lydia were much less reserved, and hugged their younger sister as tears streamed from their eyes, “You’re alright now, Nisha? Tell me that everything’s okay now again!”
Placing her ha...
2016-05-28 16:12:47 +0000 UTC View PostTaking the robe that the high priest had handed to her, Nisha examined the white fabric closer while the other women in her group left the room, presumably to give her some semblance of privacy while she discarded her yellow dress fully.
A year of being blind had taught her to rely on more than just her eyes; her small and delicate white hand...
2016-05-25 16:04:39 +0000 UTC View PostNisha was almost ready to explore the interior of the Hall of Light while she waited for the priest to return — the solemn air inside not deterring her from exploring more of the place — when she felt a trickle of blood escape the bandage.
As she lifted a hand to her wound, she contorted her face into a grimace; the excitement from earlie...
2016-05-22 08:22:47 +0000 UTC View PostA steady stream of people., carriages and mounted riders was flowing through the open gates of [Thurgau].
Smells, visual stimuli and other kinds of exciting novelties had invaded the injured dragon’s world, she helplessly tried to process the overwhelming amount of information on the carriage as it was heading to the gates; the left side se...
2016-05-16 11:54:07 +0000 UTC View PostWaking up, Nisha found her body aching once again.
However this time the pain was not related to her injury, but rather to the mass of hunger balled in her stomach.
Following her nose, the starving dragon spotted almost instantly the stone tablet filled with bowls of cold meat and vegetables.
Wolfing down the food, Nisha cleaned u...
2016-05-07 21:24:39 +0000 UTC View PostSitting on the stairs, Nisha was trying to catch her breath, taking her time to this task so as to enjoy the sun on her skin.
She didn’t know for how long she had been asleep, but she felt that it must have been for quite some time for her to long for the sun's’ warmth to this extent.
She noticed that the swaying was not limited to ...
2016-05-04 22:31:44 +0000 UTC View PostA nasty gale hauling cold water passed by a patch of forest, the fierce wind raging, ripping branches from the trees.
As if the gates of heaven had bursted open under the hand of Typhis, the mighty God that resides in the eye of the cyclone, the windstorm picked up even more intensely, ravaging the woods.
Amidst this wild spectacle, a s...

Under a guardhouse built against the wall, Nisha was arguing with the soldier guarding the door.
After having followed the instructions of the various soldiers carrying supplies up the stairs, the clamor of the ongoing siege continuously leaking from the large stones separ...
2016-04-27 21:12:22 +0000 UTC View Post“Let’s go, we are done here. Would you mind telling me your name young girl?”
The wind was picking up, blowing a cold wind on the assaulted city which forecasted the fall of rain; the dragon was already able to smell the incoming storm.
Walking alongside Lance Corporal Hale, Nisha was admiring the efficiency displayed by the soldi...
2016-04-23 20:06:45 +0000 UTC View PostStepping past the boundary between light and dark felt very liberating to the dragon playing with her newest toy. Just earlier today she discovered her War’s Flame, she still didn’t fully understand all of its powers, and yet she already gained another power.
The darkness coiling around her like a living being, not like shadows at all. Ur...
2016-04-17 14:08:44 +0000 UTC View PostInside the inn’s courtyard, Nisha stared angrily at the old innkeeper. His hesitation to let them inside his property almost cost her big sister’s life, a mistake the man was going to regret very dearly if there were any lasting damages going to remain on Annabelle.
“Man, show us a room. We paid, more than just gold, to keep you and thi...
2016-04-14 22:19:58 +0000 UTC View PostAwaiting the charging soldiers, her blades ready, Nisha’s heart was pumping violently; it was the first time she had consciously chose to face humans with the intent to kill.
The fiends were running towards her, but she was completely relaxed, feeling in another plane, where the time was flowing slower, she had so much time, she could scrut...
2016-04-10 23:30:21 +0000 UTC View PostBy living in the cottage, Nisha had grown up relatively sheltered from human social interactions; curses were heard every now and then when someone had cut himself while cooking, or when a [Sapphire Cow] had stepped on a foot; but the constant amount of profanities coming from the General Blackport’s mouth came as a culture shock for her.

2016-04-09 23:18:24 +0000 UTC View Post“Who’s going there?”
Luthais’ exclamation had prompted a reaction from the guards stationed above the gate, and a shiny metal helm appeared above the balustrade, glaring down pretentiously on the party.
“Identify yourself! If you are an enemy, I recommend you to start running now, or we’ll hit you down where you stand, Terus...
2016-04-08 22:20:07 +0000 UTC View PostThe carriage was steadily advancing alongside the forest line, slowly getting away from the endless rows of tent, trying to avoid drawing any unwanted attention on itself.
Some scouts were bound to be scrutinizing the surroundings of the besieged [Blackquarry] at all times, however a single rider accompanying a cart probably wouldn’t make the e...
2016-04-05 20:24:33 +0000 UTC View PostSetting camp at the agreed location, the group took a meager meal. Without a fire to cook the meat or warm the people sitting around, in fear of enemy scouts noticing them, the woods seemed to be hiding a hostile soldier behind every tree and brush.
The smell of smoked meat lingering in the air reminisced each of the resting travellers diff...
2016-04-02 17:37:44 +0000 UTC View PostStrolling in the forest, a peculiar girl was following a path parallel to the one a sturdy-looking carriage was travelling on, keeping an eye open for everything unusual or exciting.
After sitting a whole day on the coach’s bench, Nisha was bored out of her mind, her back sore from the rockings of the jolty road, therefore she had chosen to tra...

2016-03-28 06:58:19 +0000 UTC View PostTo my dear Nisha Dharnas,
When you will receive this letter, I imagine I will not be with
